Big Photo Challenge...my entry

This week's theme in the Big Photo Challenge is "three".

I can't tell you how difficult I found this week's challenge! "Three" sounds easy, but I was struggling to find 3 coordinating objects...or three of anything really for that matter. I eventually settled on this...

{3 of my new business cards}

I {finally} got around to ordering some business cards for myself last week, since more and more people that I meet in "real life" are taking an interest in my blog/graphic design blog. I was so thrilled with them, that I'm planning a separate post on business cards and Moo at some point, but I decided to make do with a photo of 3 of my beloved business cards.

I'm not entirely happy with the way the photo turned out but, only after editing it a little to improve the brightness and contrast, I remembered something important. When you're photographing something that is predominantly white, you need to set some exposure compensation, otherwise your camera will adjust the lighting so that white appears 18% grey. How could I forget that?! Well I guess it's been a while.
